The Week of Reading | Bookish Thoughts #1

I have been in such a reading slump the last month and a half and then something clicked. I got approved for some arcs and I was approached to read and review another. That was that. I haven’t stopped reading and I have loved getting back into my blog, it has become the week of reading. I have really found my rhythm in the last couple of weeks. Don’t you just love it when that happens and you end up feeling good again? Especially with reading, it’s so easy to fall into a slump and stay there, or fight really hard to jump out of it, so I feel great that I combatted my slump without too much effort.

Can’t get much better than that?

I think especially with me if my reading is going well I feel a lot better so it’s been so refreshing. I have mentioned in some of my other blog posts that I am currently studying for a professional qualification, and it’s completely kicking my butt. I am really struggling to find time for myself, plus work has been really uncomfortable at the moment, so there’s that. Is there anywhere that would basically let me quit my job to spend my team reading? Basically if I could have this week of reading every week I would be sorted!

How has your week been? I would love to hear about any books you’ve found interesting? Or how you get out of a slump? Let me know in the comments!

Reading slumps can feel like the worst slogging hell…but what seems to work for me is to go completely outside my usual comfort zone…read nonfiction; read light and funny books; or even don’t read at all for a night or two, binge-watching things.

I never even thought to try reading something outside my comfort zone! I will definitely have to try that next time I’m in a reading slump. I’m currently rereading at the moment so hopefully it won’t happen for a while!
